RUMOR - FOX HD on Dish for SuperBowl? No Way.

[waltinvt]

I think the HD dream on E* died a long time ago.

Guess we're just not worth it.

Funny Funny

The CSR has lied well what’s new...
No locals in HD
Don’t have 30 days to return equipment (just 72 hours)
Dish has not added more HD channels as advised

Things better change or after this contract I will be gone for sure and make sure everyone I talk to about satellite service does not go to dish

Sad day when 40 year old technology will bring a better quality picture to your TV than state of the art satellites, mixed with bad business contracts and greedy board members

Wow and think if we all still had black and white tubes with RF converters and UHF/VHF we would never even miss this...

I saw my first Super Bowl in b&w, and I liked it then. Sorry for you guys out in the sticks, but I'm not missing it. My 811 is bringing in my FOX station just fine from 25 miles away.

My 811 is bringing in both Tulsa and OKC Fox stations, so I am good

My 921 is bringing in ummm static...No ota's, but I will watch on a 27" from my D* sd ny feed or my E* local sd feed, whichever gives the best pq...

What's 9465 HDEV1? I don't recall seeing this channel until today. It's listed in the EPG as "Off Air". Is this new or am I just being unobservant?

It's been there. They have shown Dallas Mav games for the Dallas area only.

I don't know why people whine and moan here so much about lack of HD content from Dish/Direct when there's such a simple solution for that: drop them and go with the "Canadian solution". I got tired of waiting for dish HD content to improve so I spent 300 bucks and got a canadian system. Now I have east/west feeds of US digital networks and today (if I really cared for it) I could watch the superbowl in 3(THREE) different channels in High Def. I often wonder if Charlie or whoever the heck runs dish is reading the messages here of people begging for more HD content and just laughing and laughing and laughing...

This is crazy! When my contract is up June 1, I will be back with the cable company- after 5 years away with DBS!

Dang... Thought maybe they were going to put the Superbowl on it...

Too much to hope for...

Naaa, Charlie is just a different breed of pig. Why should he be any better? He has your money.
